Dick Schaap Award for Outstanding Journalism
The Dick Schaap Award for Outstanding Journalism was established in 2002 to honor the memory of one of America's pre-eminent sports writers, Dick Schaap. The award is presented by the Nassau County Sports Commission and is given out to the journalist, in any medium, who best exemplifies the principles and talents of Dick Schaap during the past year. The award recipient is determined by confidential balloting of the Dick Schaap Selection Committee, which is composed of respected members of the media, and chaired by Dick's son, ESPN reporter Jeremy Schaap.
Although the recipient need not be a sports journalist, he/she must convey the passion and insight for stories and people he/she covers as Schaap did.

gollark: Anyway, since LyricLy is done lyricing, it is time for me to ramble incoherently about my entry (#7±5).
gollark: Alternatively, just add a backdoor and do it later. Somehow nobody noticed me doing that in #9. Anyway, I *do* have a cool image-based esolang sitting around to use somewhere. Maybe I could incorporate that.
gollark: The obvious solution is to reveal all implementation details of lyriclysite™ so we can do that.
gollark: Is there meant to be an image shipped with it?
gollark: But it doesn't SSH into your server.
